The Rules
16/03
2. Your collar shapes your face. You’re looking for balance here. If you have a face that looks like it’s been hit hit with a spade, try to steer clear of wide cut collars. Likewise, if you’ve got a face like a horse, avoid tall thin collars. The whole point of putting clothes on is to bring the eye up to the face. Strong structured collars make you look important; small soft collars make you look like you shop at Asda.
5. Two fingers are always better than one. Take two fingers and see if they slide in nice and comfortably. Clearly I am taking here about your collar. Do the top buttons up, and see if two fingers fit in easily. Do this or choke to death when you put a tie on. If you can get three fingers in it is clearly unpleasant.
17.You’ve got Olive skin. You need to work towards cooler colours; this will make you look more tanned. Shift towards the warm colours and you’ll look hotter than a blind puff in a hot dog factory.
Modern workplaces insist on this oxymoron for dress codes, so we must adapt and overcome. Using smart details around the suit breaks up the formality and stops you looking like you work in a phone shop.
I love monk-strap shoes, especially brown ones with a toe cap. In a sea of brogues, this shows you’re astute to the details. The strong coat collar frames the face drawing the eye up to the most important part of the outfit your face!
A textured tie is another subtle detail that softens the formality of a suit, and by mirroring a high contrast shirt and tie with the high contrast of the hair to face, the look ties together. The cool blue of the shirt compliments the warm hue of the skin. This cool colored shirt on a pasty so and so, would wash the wearer out.
His flat fronted trousers work well with his slim frame; pleated trousers would have swamped him and would have plumped him out like a French duke.
